What's the chances Seymour just ends up back where he started, with the Patriots?

I'd say to quote BB, "less than zero."

I just couldn't ever in my wildest dreams imagine Belichick welcoming him back to play here. Like mg said, if it came down to it, maybe he'd go somewhere else--but there's no way (IMHO) that he'd end up back here.

Behind the scenes in all of this,is the agent,Eric Parker.The Patriots avoid his draft choices,if possible,not because he's a tough negotiator,but because he's a swarmy jerk and the holdout prince.

I'm sure he fu-kd up the the talks on extending Seymour..whispering in his ear...."We got them over a barrel,
Julius Peppers,Richard,Julius Peppers".

I think a couple of years back,Colonel Parker was suspended by the PA for poaching clients,while being unregistered.

BB is loathed to deal with him and I think his patience wore thin,quite quickly.

Now,Richard is blaming all on the colonel and I smell a lawsuit coming.

IMO,this is the back-story of the Seymour trade.

If you're going load this much speculation into a post, at least try to be right about something in the content. FFS, you didn't even get the agent's name right (it's Eugene).

This same agent represents Tyson Jackson, who Pioli's Chiefs drafted #3 overall in this past draft, and then signed with relative ease. So it's pretty obvious that if the Pats have any 'longstanding' grudge against him, it's only come about in the few months since Pioli left. In other words, it doesn't exist; you're just making crap up.

So no, the inside story here is that you need to get a clue and stop making lame threads.

He can be as mad as wants at his agent but the fact is that a trade was made and barring some kind of well hidden physical problem he is now a Raider. I think most people can understand how devastating this trade is to the player; from best to worst overnight. On the other hand, the Raiders have him for exactly 16 games. Yes, he could be franchised but would then still be in line for a pretty healthy and guaranteed paycheck for next year. The fact is that the Raiders offered a deal that the Patriots couldn't refuse. He could play this year for us and we would get a so-so compensatory pick ( assuming the conventional wisdom that he wouldn't be re-signed) or he could go to Oakland and we get a very high first round pick, possibly with a salary cap on the 2011 draft class. Seymour has been a very "it's a business" player so he knows the program as well as anybody. Having said all that, I think he has been a great player for us and I'll miss seeing him in a Patriot's uni.

Seymour is playing the 09 season for about $ 3.8 million. I find that a very low number. Was he paid a bonus up front that would include the 09 season? And if so would he not have to pay the Patriots back those monies if he decides he is bigger than the NFL and does not report?

I figured you'd drop in eventually,WTF......This is the best thread on the Seymour situation,all week.....They're all speculative...you moron......Jeez...the Pioli reference is irrelevant per your usual,non-socratic drivel,.....go away....scoot
